Updating Only Changed Rows in the GridView Control

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:01:26 GMT

Matt Berseth wrote a very interesting article on "Bulk Inserting Data Using the ListView Control". The idea is to give the user an Excel like interface where they can edit the rows with custom data and finally click the update button to persist the data in the database. Matt's solution was great but lacks a very important detail. There was no way to know what rows were changed by the user. Matt took the road to update all the rows whether they were changed or not. In this article we are going to take a look at an alternative method of updating only the changed rows.

Paging and sorting the GridView control wih Entity Framework N Layer

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 01:22:08 GMT

Entity Framework is the best alternative of Microsoft for mapper a relational database to objects, and is already a very complete support in ASP.NET for populate the GridView control and enable the paging and sorting features directly by LinqDatasource object,but to use this alternative not have the chance to decouple the linq query in a business rules layer separated, which can be a problem if we have those requirements.

Master-Detail with the GridView, DetailsView and ModalPopup Controls

Thu, 01 May 2008 02:12:53 GMT

A while back I wrote a post describing how the DetailsView, GridView, UpdatePanel and the AjaxControlToolkit's ModalPopup controls could be used to implement the common Master/Details UI pattern. I cheated a bit when creating my original example in that I didn't really complete the implementation - the Save button on the popup didn't actually do anything. Since writing that post I have received a lot of email and a number of people left comments asking me to complete the example - so here it is. If you plan on reading through this article, I recommend playing around with the demo site to get a feel for how the page works. All data changes are only persisted to memory, so don't worry about messing up the data set.

ASP.NET: How To Use BulkEditGridview To Save Hours In Database Editing

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 15:50:14 GMT

The GridView is a fantastic, versatile, and powerful tool. Unfortunately, it is also unrealistic in several aspects. Say you have a page in your website's administrative back-end that is to update all of your prices for your products. With a typical GridView, if you wanted to update, say, 10 of these prices, you will require at minimum 20 postbacks, which depending on the speed of your server can be a lengthy process. Now imagine that you have over 1000 lines to edit. 2000 postbacks, minimum... sound like a daunting task that may take you hours in just waiting for your server to respond? What if I told you that you could edit an unlimited number of records in a GridView with one click, one postback, and one call to your database, and that only the records you modified would be updated? What if I told you it was way, way easier than you think?
